Шаблон:For Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:More citations Шаблон:Infobox song "In Another Land" is a song by the Rolling Stones, released in December 1967 as the first single from the album Their Satanic Majesties Request, and credited solely to Bill Wyman. In America, London Records released it as a single a week before the album.

Written by bassist Bill Wyman, "In Another Land" is the only Rolling Stones song to feature Wyman on lead vocals, and one of only three Rolling Stones songs he wrote (the others being "Downtown Suzie" and the unreleased "Goodbye Girl"). The single was released on 2 December 1967, credited to Bill Wyman, with the Stones' "The Lantern" as the B-side.Шаблон:Sfn It peaked at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and at number 62 on the Cash Box Top 100 singles chart, on which it was credited to Bill Wyman.

Background

The song was recorded on a night when Wyman had shown up at the studio and found that the session had been cancelled. Feeling frustrated that he had potentially wasted time in driving there, engineer Glyn Johns asked him if he had anything that he'd like to record. "I'd been messing with this song. It was a bitШаблон:Nbsp... what I thought was kind of spacy, you knowШаблон:Nbsp... a bit kind of Satanic Majesties-like. And psychedelic in a way."Шаблон:Attribution needed

Lyrically, Wyman stated that "The idea for the song is about this guy who wakes up from a dream and finds himself in another dream."Шаблон:Attribution needed The song describes events that transpire in a dreamlike state: Шаблон:Poemquote

Johns showed the song to Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Brian Jones, who all liked it and decided to include it on the record.

The musicians on the song are Wyman on lead vocals, with both Ronnie Lane and Steve Marriott of the Small Faces on guitar and backing vocals, Nicky Hopkins on keyboards, Charlie Watts on drums, and Jagger adding backing vocals.Шаблон:Sfn

At the conclusion of the track as heard on the album, Wyman himself can be heard snoring. He was unaware this had been tagged onto his song until he first played the completed album. He learned later that one night when he had fallen asleep in the studio, Jagger and Richards miked him up and recorded him snoring, and stuck it onto his track as a joke. This does not appear on the single.Шаблон:Citation needed

Reception

Billboard described the single as an "off-beat piece of rock ballad material that should prove a monster" and as "a weirdy that can't miss." Cash Box said that the song enters the "electrical-kaleidoscopic realm" and incorporates "vocal reverb, use of thudding rhythmics and a good melody."
